Ingredients

1 teaspoon espresso, instant
1 tablespoon water
2/3 cup powdered sugar
1 cup butter softened
2 cups flour, all-purpose
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup toffee chips
1 x powdered sugar optional
1/2 cup chocolate (semi-sweet) semi-sweet chips
2 teaspoons vegetable shortening optional

Directions

Preheat oven to 325 F.

In a small bowl, dissolve the instant espresso granules in water.

In a large mixer bowl, combine the coffee mixture, powdered sugar and butter.

Beat on medium speed, scraping the bowl often, for 1 to 2 minutes until creamy.

Reduce the speed to low; add the flour and salt.

Continue beating, scraping the bowl often, for 1 to 2 minutes until well mixed.

By hand, stir in the toffee chips.

Shape heaping teaspoonfuls of dough into crescents, logs or 1-inch balls.

Place 1 inch apart on cookie sheets.

Bake for 13 to 17 minutes, or until set but not brown.

Let stand for 1 minutes; remove from cookie sheets.

If desired, roll the warm cookies in powdered sugar, or melt the chocolate chips and shortening together; dip the ends of the cooled cookies in the melted chocolate.1

Lentil and Vegetable Stew

This is a delicious, filling, easily customizable recipe! I made it with red lentils which cooked faster, so I set them aside and then cooked the potato, etc. in water, then added the lentils back in with the zucchini. I used unpeeled red potatoes, and I substituted a splash of Worcestershire sauce for the bouillion. I also left out the salt, and added black pepper, cayenne pepper and turmeric. Yum, yum! Perfect for serving over brown rice.
